Mario E. Munich received the degree of Electronic Engineer (with
honors) from the National University of Rosario, Argentina, in 1990,
and the M.S. and the Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from the
California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, in 1994 and 2000,
respectively. His PhD work focused in developing novel Human-Machine
Interfaces using video technology and computer vision
techniques. After graduation he joined Vocalpoint Technologies, San
Francisco, CA, where he worked on noise-robust speech recognition
engines. He is currently VP of R&D at Evolution Robotics, Pasadena,
CA, where he conducts research in computer vision algorithms for
object recognition, robotics, and navigation. He has directed the
Human-Robot Interface group at Evolution Robotics where he has
developed a speech-based human-robot interface and a personality and
emotional models for a robot. He also manages the engineering
development efforts at Evolution Robotics. His research interests
include machine vision, handwriting and speech recognition,
human-computer interfaces, pattern recognition, machine learning,
affective computing, robotics, and embedded systems.
